In celebration of International Bog Day, Mark takes a trip to Flanders Moss near Stirling to meet up with Ellie Lawson who was out on the bog collecting important data on a rare moth caterpillar.

Seaweed has been in the news a lot recently so wild forager Fiona Bird joins Mark and Euan to talk about this hugely versatile ingredient and why we should be using it more in cooking.

Helen Needam takes a walk round the Forvie National Nature Reserve with writer Baz Nichols to hear more about his work which is largely based around lost, hidden and abandoned landscapes.

Many of us have been enjoying the glorious weather over the last few weeks so, to cool off a bit, Mark heads ‘doon the watter’ to take a dip in Scotland’s oldest outdoor swimming pool.
